Alzheimer’s is a disease commonly found in people over age 65 and is a common type of dementia. Alzheimer’s disease is not a normal part of aging. It is mandatory and important to look for tell-tale signs that might indicate Alzheimer’s disease versus basic dementia. These symptoms can occur almost constantly and worse each day. Things to look out for:

• Memory loss
• Confusion
• Complications in completing everyday actions like wearing clothes.

Dementia is the progressive decline in cognitive function due to damage or disease in the brain beyond what might be expected from normal ageing.

Particularly affected areas may be memory, attention, language, and problem solving. Especially in the later stages of the condition, affected persons may be disoriented in time (not knowing what day of the week, day of the month, month, or even what year it is), in place (not knowing where they are), and in person (not knowing who they are).

Symptoms of dementia can be classified as either reversible or irreversible depending upon the etiology of the disease. Less than 10 percent of cases of dementia have been reversed. Dementia is a non-specific term encompassing many disease processes, just as fever is attributable to many etiologies.

Without careful assessment, delirium can easily be confused with dementia and a number of other psychiatric disorders because many of the signs and symptoms are also present in dementia (as well as other mental illnesses including depression and psychosis).

Currently, there is no cure for Alzheimer’s disease thus the importance of quality care for those who suffer from Alzheimer’s disease. The first step is knowing more about the disease itself.

Back to the name. How did the creators of Thoof got its name? Here are some of my guesses:

1. A news thief a.k.a paparazzi. Its nothing bad. Its good! By looking at the site, its filled with good links. Take it as a good news thief.
2. The creators have a thing for the tooth-fairy. Hahah, kinky.
3. Some guy in the team has a dog who has a lisp. aww..
4. Its a funny yet creative name. And the domain looks good on it!

My personal mantra on loans is “only if its the last resort”
But loans could also be the factor that can make things happen.

Being my own boss has always been in my take-over-the-world plan for quite some time now. But there are obstacles. Like lack of funds. I need the capital to start a design firm.

I was doing some research on loans and saw 2 very helpful guides.

• Business Loans
• Personal Loans

What is my take on loans? Well, not all sources are reliable. I’d never take loans from close contacts: family, friends etc. Or untrustworthy lenders a.k.a Loansharks.
I’d rather consult a bank or a reputable company.

What would i do if i secure a business loan? Upon registering the company, I’d require an office space, fit for maybe 4 personnels and a good space for a conference room. Then i’ll have to look for equipments. Get a couple of Mac Pros, good unorthodox office furniture (to make work look fun!), and other important things. Also, i’d need a good accountant!

How can all these happen? A good loan!

Personally i use a Canon point and shoot (pns) for leisure/personal shoots. At work, i use either a Canon 350D or a Canon 1D.

Photography has taken me by surprise probably a year ago. It was interesting to capture moments that’ll freeze forever in print, or digital. And digital makes life so much easier, when you can preview the picture you just shot, and to delete those that are not that nice. A consumer pns would only cost a few hundred bucks and it’d be the perfect companion for that family outing, graduation and happy moments!

Here are some of my favourite pictures:

I’m trying out more fun shots nowadays. Like my attempts at cloning myself. Holy Clone, Batman!

Haha!

Would love to get my hands on a Canon 5D real soon. If you’re looking for a DSLR, i’d recommend the Nikon D40. I may be a Canon user, but hey, this baby packs a punch!

Do you own a camera? Do you have any favourite shots?

I’d love to hear from you. Drop me a comment or ten.
